Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

The Chinese culture at the wine table has been engraved in the Chinese people since they were born. Most things are done at the wine table. If you want to move up a level, you have to treat your boss to a meal. The culture at the wine table has formed its characteristics. It is a culture that people hate but have to learn.

The private room in the cafeteria had been cleaned spotlessly, and a few potted plants were brought in from somewhere. Liu Anshan nodded with great satisfaction, thinking that the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill had put a lot of effort into entertaining him. Liu Anshan looked at Xiao Fenggu and felt more and more satisfied.

Liu Anshan sat in the main seat with a big horse and a golden sword, and beside him were leaders of different ranks. Lou Jingzhai also sat beside Liu Anshan. As a businessman, he was naturally very eloquent. He made Liu Anshan laugh so hard that he felt very happy.

The factory director's secretary got two bottles of Moutai from somewhere. Moutai of this era was not as famous as it is in later generations. But it was also a very expensive wine. When used to entertain people, the standard was raised immediately. Xiao Fenggu poured a glass of wine for Liu Anshan with a smile on his face and said, "I offer a glass of wine to Liu, the leader, and wish him a continuous promotion and good luck in the future."

Liu Anshan drank it all in one gulp with a smile, pursed his lips and said, "Well, good wine, good wine. Xiao Xiao, you are really good, and you really think so. Everyone, try this Moutai later. The taste of this Moutai is really good. It can be said that the aftertaste is long and the aroma is mellow." Everyone nodded with a smile, and promised to drink a few more glasses later.

Liu Lan came up with a pot of braised fish. When the fish came up, the fragrant and sticky taste whetted the appetite of the people in the box. Liu Anshan picked up a piece of fish and tasted it. His eyes narrowed suddenly. After a long time, he nodded and said, "Well, there are really wise men in the countryside. I didn't expect that there is such a good chef in your Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

Liu Anshan smiled and looked at the people around him and said, "Hey, don't just look at me, try this braised fish. It's really good. Come and try it." Since Liu Anshan had spoken, the people around him picked up their chopsticks and tasted the braised fish. After a while, they all nodded, and they all thought it tasted really good.

After a while, Liu Lan came up with another dish of twice-cooked pork. This made Liu Anshan's appetite growl. He picked up the chopsticks with a smile and quickly picked up the food from the bowl without paying attention to the looks of the people around him. Liu Anshan nodded with satisfaction, wiped his mouth and commented, "Not bad, this twice-cooked pork is fat but not greasy, and it doesn't have that fishy smell. When you chew the meat in your mouth, you can smell the fragrance of bamboo. It's hard to imagine what kind of chef this is?"

Lou Jingzhai also nodded and said, "Lou is also a person who has eaten and seen such delicious food. This is the first time I have tasted such delicious food. I didn't expect the food to be so delicious. Director Xiao, I wonder which chef is the creator of this food." Xiao Fenggu smiled and said to Lou Jingzhai, "Mr. Lou should know him. He is He Yuzhu, the son of former Master He Daqing."

When Lou Jingzhai heard that it was He Daqing's son, his eyes widened and he said, "I didn't expect that there are talented people in every generation. Master He's son is even better than Master He. His cooking skills should be even better than Master He's. Well, Director Xiao, can you do me a favor? My daughter doesn't want to eat recently, and I would like to invite Master He to cook a few dishes for us so that my daughter can have a good meal."

Xiao Fenggu naturally did not hesitate. Although Lou Jingzhai had fallen into poverty in recent years, the broken ship still had 3000 ingots. Lou Jingzhai was still very powerful, so Xiao Fenggu was naturally willing to build a good relationship with him. He stopped Liu Lan who was leaving and said, "This dish should be the last one." Liu Lan nodded quickly, and Xiao Fenggu said, "Go and call Master He over."

After Liu Lan agreed, she hurried back to the kitchen. She told He Yuzhu what Director Xiao said, and He Yuzhu nodded, took off his apron, and left the kitchen. This made the people in the kitchen envious. They didn't expect that the factory leader would meet Master He again. Ordinary people like them could only see the factory director a few times a year. Master He was so young, but he was valued so much by the factory director. I believe his future must be limitless.

Xu Damao's eyes almost turned red with envy. If he had such a good skill, wouldn't he be the one to be interviewed by the leader? But Xu Damao knew his own business. He didn't use this skill, so he could only help in the kitchen. Although he envied Sha Zhu in his heart, he didn't have the resentment like in the original book.

In the small canteen of the steel mill, Liu Guangtian was showing a movie to the leaders in the box. Although they had seen it many times, they were still very happy. Liu Guangtian had been following his master for a while and was very arrogant, but he had the capital to be arrogant. After all, in this era, being able to show movies meant being a very powerful person.

He Yuzhu glanced at Liu Guangtian, then smiled and greeted the leaders in the box. Liu Anshan's smile never stopped, today was the best day for him to eat. Liu Anshan personally poured a glass of wine for He Yuzhu, and said happily, "I didn't expect that our chef is so young. Master He's cooking skills are so good, I wonder where he learned it from."

He Yuzhu seemed very reserved, grinning as he said, "Reporting to the leader, I have been an apprentice to my father since I was a child. When I was eight or nine years old, I became a disciple of the Sichuan cuisine master Mo Xiangtian and learned Sichuan cuisine." When Liu Anshan heard that he was Mo Xiangtian's apprentice, he immediately gave He Yuzhu a higher evaluation and said, "Oh my, this is incredible. I didn't expect you to be Master Mo's apprentice. You are really young and promising. Young and promising."

Liu Anshan wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth and said cheerfully, "I have tasted Master Mo's cooking many years ago. He is truly a master. Master He is Master Mo's apprentice. No wonder the dish is so delicious. This twice-cooked pork has some of Master Mo's skills. He is really a young and promising man. I, Liu Anshan, would like to offer a toast to Master He and thank him for making so many dishes for us. It is a real treat for us."
